President Member of the AaaorMUed PreM The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the i w for P"b!!f: tton irfWvs dirtches credited to It or not otherwise credited la paper. Edwin Markham and O masters, lords and rulers in an tanas. Is this the handiwork you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul-quenched T How will you ever straighten up this shape; Touch it again with immortality: Give back the upward looking and the Light; Rebuild in it the music and the dream; Make right the immemorial infamies. Perfidious wrongs, immediable woes? . . , How will the Future reckon with this Man? How answer his brute questions in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake all shores? from "The Man With the Hoe." Edwin Markham wrote the first four lines of "The Man With the Hoe" in 1866 after seeing a black-and-white print of the Millet painting of the same name. He kept those lines in a little black notebook until 1898, when he went to see the original painting. Obsessed with a determination to finish it, he labored and brooded for weeks but the stanzas when they did come to him seemed to leap into his consciousness fully formed. Once it was completed he had no hope of its publi cationbecause it contained so much "dynamite." He must have entertained some such ideas of the freedom of the press as are held by some present-day "liberals." At any rate a San , Francisco newspaper paid him $40 for it. -, , . It was published December 28, 1899 and thus Edwin Markham may be said to have set the tone for social thought Of the dawning Twentieth century. - For though publishers were not afraid of it and it started no immediate revolution, it was the sensation of the year; was reprinted throughout the nation and became the topic for heated controversy. It was described as the "battle cry of the next thousand years." It was praised, it was misinterpreted, it was resented by some who took it to be a slur upon honest toil. But it catapulted Edwin Markham, the obscure California educator, to fame as a poet. Oregon's claim upon Edwin Markham arises out of his birth in Oregon City April 23, 1852, the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Winchell Markham, covered wagon immigrants of 1847. Samuel Markham died a few years later and the poet's mother kept a store in Oregon City, planted apple seeds and wrote verse which delighted her neighbors. Presently she and her young children were attracted to California by the gold rush, but she wound up as a rancher in the Suisan hills where the boy Edwin rode the range. Somehow he caught a vision of a greater world in which he might find a place; ran away from home, heading for the bay region to gain anfedu cation; fell in with Black Bart, notorious bandit, who Jliked him but lacked patience with his dreams of an educatiorj. Yet after Edwin's mother found him and took him home to earn money for the education he desired, Edwin stumbled upon a cache of about $900 in gold ; he always suspected Black Bart left it where he could find it. Despite this windfall he was forced to work as a black smith and at other manual labor to support himself while cornpletinsr his education. His lot seems to have been no hard er than many another; but sensitivity, as in the case of Ham lin Garland who preceded him in death by only a few days, probably explains the deep impression made upon him by the toiler s woes which he thus experienced The deaths of these two men who protested against the aocial order, coincident with the showing in Salem of the film version of Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" draws the spotlight to literature's bearing upon social consciousness in reneral. Comparison of Markham, particularly, with Stein beck and his present-day approach may serve to illustrate j the change in viewpoint that has developed in 40 years or somewhat less. The thing may be that social consciousness has developed quite generally at least in the United States, to the point of universal agreement in the abstract with the Markham viewpoint. He demanded simple justice and opportunity for the unfortunate; apparently he was not greatly concerned with systems. Everybody agrees with him now but there is little agreement about systems, and there is the crux of the argument. Events in Europe have dammed up whatever trend there may have been toward collectivism though H. G. Wells thinks the revolution of which Markham warned will grow out of the war. r-i :i Steinbeck is concerned! as a writer about systems. He S lends his typewriter to the task of tearing down the exist ing system. To hear him tell it, private property is the basis of social injustice and business is "petty thievery." In "The Grapes of Wrath" that is just a tone in the background ; the major theme is mistreatment of the "Okies." Our outstanding impression from the book and from the movie is that California is a disagreeable place where every body who has a niche is afraid of losing it and is ready to bite and scratch to keep it. The social condition of the Okies probably was, five or six years ago, as bad as Steinbeck paint ed It. The attitude of Californians probably was not as bad - sis he painted it, but it was bad enough. Currently the Asso- dated Farmers are accused of trying to drive the Okies out, which doesn't jibe with Steinbeck's charge that they were duped into coming. And it would be a miracle if there were no real "reds" among them. There is no question but that civil liberties have been vi olated, somewhat along the lines pictured by Steinbeck. But one has constantly to doubt his sincerity which detracts from the effectiveness of his story; After all, the Okies exist, just as he painted them ; their hardships are partly of their - own making and partly due to conditions and events which began decades ago. The real contrast between Steinbeck and Markham is that the novelist is a materialist, concerned with men's phy- - aical comforts; the poet was concerned with man's soul and only as it affected man's spiritual nature did he care about the material aspects. Said Markham some years ago in an interview with Fred Lockley of the Oregon Journal : "This is a dream world we live in. a world that has gone sadly astray, a world of wrong and injustice, a world of defeat and disappointment, a world of sorrow and frustrated plants. Bat remenrber, this is not the real world; the spiritual is the real world." Markham did not necessarily refer to a "next" world; he contended that brotherly love could make a heaven of this world. But nevertheless his emphasis was upon the spirit ; and it is in the placing of emphasis elsewhere that the popu lar liberalism of today falls short. y s Nepotism Relates to Neohews While investigators for inxr into the records of the National Labor Relations board one of them came upon an application filed by one Bernard W. Frennd, 27, for the position of assistant attorney for the board. Attached to the application was a notation by a re gional director, reading in part as follows: His legal training limited almost entirely to minor office matters. la my opinion he would not b worth more than what he has been earning during the last year, which la approximately S0 -a month. - . But at the bottom of the application there was another notations Nephew of Ben Cohen. - Officially, Ben Cohen doesn't rate so highly in Washing ton, DC. He is merely the general counsel of the National Power Policy committee. But unofficially, he is a member of that powerful sew deal team of Corcoran and Cohen. : So Nephew Frennd tot the job, at $2C00 a year and since jtatemaati "The Grapes of Wrath the Smith committee were delv- Bi Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Salem United States 3-9-40 Indian Training School celebrated 60 Birthday on Saturday. February 24th: . H (Continuing from yesterday:) Edward Hirsch was state treas urer, a very loyal Salemite, after ward to become state senator for Marion county and postmaster for the capital city. He took charge of the piloting of the required bill, for relinquishing state control over the land for the Indian school, through the legislature. W. D. Hare of Washington county, then one of the ablest and most influential men In Ore gon, was In the state senate. He was thought to have the power, if he wished, (and it was feared that he might wish), to kill the bill which had been Introduced in the house when it reached the senate. So some of his colleagues "in the know" arranged to bring the bill up in that branch at a time when Mr. Hare was out of the senate chamber, on duties that would detain him a little while. This was done and, be fore the honorable member from Washington county knew of the scheme, the bill was through the upper house and on its way to the governor's desk for signa ture. W 'm S How does this writer know about that generally long for gotten trick played upon the honorable senator, depriving him of the chance to knock in the head the bill that helped Marlon county take the Indian school away from Washington county? Well, in the language of a popular radio broadcast, "I Was There." This columnist and Alfred Holman were then the only newspaper reporters cover ing the routine reports of the two branches of the Oregon leg islature, making two copies each and swapping the extra one and this writer "making" the senate and Alfred Holman the house. That was the day before type writers, too. and the making of duplicate copies was not as easy as it is now. (Holman was work ing for the Oregonion, this writer for The Statesman.) It was done by using a hard pencil, and a carbon sheet for the1 duplicate copy. And It was arranged, or understood, or con nived, that no publicity got out from the upper branch of the legislature concerning the prog ress of the bill. Such a scheme would be harder to arrange now, because there are found, each session, half a hundred or more newspaper and news association reporters working In or about the two houses! The man who, more than any other one person, was respon sible for the removal of the In dian school from Forest Grove to Salem was Dr. H. J. Minthorn. who became superintendent of the Institution in 1882, while it was yet at Forest Grove, remain ing at Its head for two years. Dr. Minthorn in accomplishing the removal of the institution was acting for its good. That was the only chance in sight to have It come into the possession of its first 177 acres of good land, an essential for its success. It had at Forest Grove only a few acres, with no prospect for get ting much if any more there. At that time Herbert. Hoover and his brother Theodore and their Bister, nephews and niece of Dr. Minthorn, orphans, were members of the Minthorn house hold, and so remained until they went away to school the boys to Stanford University: first Herbert, who went In 1891 to Stanford University. He and Charles L. McNary left Salem to gether, on the same train, for Stanford little thinking, it Is to be presumed, that "Herb" and "Charley," as they were then familiarly known, would become, one president of the United States, the other long a leader in the greatest deliberative body on earth, the United States senate. And perhaps president, too. At that time, Theodore Hoo ver, known as "Tad," was a lino type operator on The States man, having learned the then very new trade in Iowa, and operating here one of the first two machines brought west of the Rocky mountains. Later Herbert, having become estab lished at Stanford, induced Theo dore to Join him in that school and he became in after years dean of the school of mines of the Institution. But before that, after both had 'graduated, the Hoover brothers becoming mining en gineers, and very successful ones, with offices In San Francisco, New York, London, etc., and with calls for their professional serv ices on all the continents, count ing Australia as one of htem. "a S Dr. Minthorn did not come to Chemawa as superintendent of the Indian school. After serv ing the institution as superin tendent two years while it was at Forest Grove, he was transferred to the Indian school at Chilocco, Oklahoma, and. In September, 18S5, came back to Oregon as president of the Newberg Friends college, now Pacific Uni versity. But Dr. Minthorn took a great and helpful Interest in the progress of the, Chemawa school, during all those years. He came to Salem in 18 88. ac tively engaged in business here, as head of hte Oregon Land com pany, and erected one of the first two dwellings in Highland addi tion, still standing. There the orphan nephews, "Herb" and "Tad." resided until they went away to Stanford. The last time Herbert Hoover was In Salem he visited that home, near the first Friends' church of Salem, which he helped to build, and of which then he has been raised to $2800. It's a small Incident and a small job but the executive department at Washington is still eddinjjr employes at a rate which will brim: its personnel up to-the million mark sometime this summer and if this is a fair sample of the "merit system" under which these em ployes are selected, it is little wonder that a majority of young people think "pull" is -necessary to set ahead in the world.. At any rate the federal government is doing nothing ta.aHay that impression. 02EGOII STATESMJUT. Salts.

March Be fore Mr. Roosevelt's finely clip ped budget figures have even been acted upon In congress, a confidential government survey has been handed to him by his economists demanding a much greater spending outlay for re lief. m The report placed on his desk since his return from the oath claims 1,250,000 more persons have become unem ployed la the past CO days, due . to the business decline. The official economists say In effect that unless the president scraps his two months old fiscal policy, and wrings more WPA money from congress, the relief rolls, now carrying 2,300,000 will have to be cut by nearly two thirds to 900.000 In July. Congress no doubt will sniff suspiciously at these figures If and when they get out of the president's desk drawer. The congressional leaders have suc cessfully contradicted similar es timates of prospective WPA needs in the past. But at least this time the Harrington WPA regime, un like the former Hopkins manage ment, is not politically campaign ing for funds. Colonel Harrington, the WPA administrator, has not specific ally anked the White Houm for more money and will make no demands upon congress, but he will lay his pessimistic statistics before congressional commit tees when he appears shortly at herlnjr on appropriations for the next fiscal year beginning 1941. These hearings have been put off, but may start In two weeks. The spenders nevertheless are pressing the president, urging him to send up a supplemental message to congress openly de manding a deficiency appropria tion immediately. The president dug such a large escape hole for himself In his budget message that he rould without verbal embarrassment ask for more money. In his mes sage he said his estimates and needs were based on continuing good business. At that time in dustrial production was 128, to day it is about 105. Unemployed numbered OOO.OOO when the budget was submitted. The Rooevelt econ oinl.sta now eatimate the figure at 10,500,000 and predict It will go to 12,000,000 in Jul). But the president's embar rassment otherwise would be great, because his whole fiscal plan was so tightly drawn that an increase In relief outlays would scrap the whole budget program and raise the question whence the money Is to be derived. For this reason presidential ad visers are uncertain whether Mr. Roosevelt will let Harrington carry the hod to congress or whether he will undertake the leadership himself. The fine po litical angle Involved Is whether there are mors votes In economy or In relief. The Kelly-Xash machine Is passing word hack here that a tremendous effort will be made in Illinois to roll up m huge nn n ceded Roosevelt majority la the primary in order to injure the candidacy of Vice-President Garner. A Chicago congressman has told his democratic colleagnes the well-oiled city machine ex pects to accumulate a demon stration vote of 750.0O0 to 1, 000,000 for Roosevelt, and hold the Garner total to a paltry 70.0O0. Whether It can be done remains to be seen the day after the vote, hat the politico-legislators here have respect for the ability of the Kelly-Nash group to count ahead of time Just about what they want or steed. The Howard Smith committee program for reforming the na tional labor relations board caused a ripple of chuckles to run around the inner circle but not at ths Whits House. Core of ths scheme Is a three-man Judicial board disassociated from a prose cuting administrator, modeled after the setup of the civil aero nautics suthorlty (you read In Adventure Aboard Fair Gnard Bill Cobb, shown above, Today's News MALLON this spot weeks ago that this would probsbly be the commit tee'i recommendation.) Bat the point is that Mr. Rooaevelt for years has been pointing to CAA as the model committee arrangement. Ho in effect the Smith committee lias used (he president's own model for a purpose far from what the president would have de sired. . Ths president's fishing trip hs Brought some entirely new de scriptive phrases to fishing lexi cography. Presidential Secretary Pa Watson described the fish caught by Admiral Ross Mclntlre, the president's physician as "a swivel-tailed, slew-flnned oea ur chin;" his own catch he plcture6 as "a beautiful 31 pound rooster fish." The president apparently only caught a third term backlash. (Oi.trlbattd by King restores Byadl este Inc. Reprodnrnoa Is whole or is pert etrictly prohibited.) Self Mado Girl By HAZEL LIVINGSTON Chapter n (Continued) un west Firty-flfth. not far from Fifth avenue, she found Tan ya's Tea Room. 'Dinner from Thirty-fivs Cents It was In the basement of an old house, and there were two gay wooden danc ing figures on either side of the red painted basement door and the small barred windows were curtained in sky-blue silk. It sounded cheap and looked Bohe mian and exciting, so she went in. She'd hare left again, In a mo ment, for there wasn't a soul In the place, but Just as she was backing toward the door, embar rassed because she was too early, a big. rosy girl in a pale blue smock stenciled in double-eagles and stiff, daUy-Uke flowers In red and black and white, came out from' the kitchen and shouted, "Walt, I'm coming!" Towering a head above Linda, she beamed down upon her Jov ially. "Now, what can I do for you?" "Why, I thought" Linda felt her face reddening, "That Is, the sign said dinner " "Dinner!" the big girl laughed. "Why, of course! You don't mind waiting a little, do you? Are you in a hurry?" No, Linda couldn't say that she was In a hurry, exactly. So she waited, and that was how he got to know Tanya (born Gladys Schmidt), and got her first Job. It was all very simple and sur prising. Tanya, who came from California, had Inherited ths tea room from one Dora Bush, who inherited It from two old maid sis ters who left It to Dora when old maid sisters had known all about cooking and would havs done very well If they hadn't served so many free meals to peo ple like Dora, who meant well, but didn't pay very well.
